Yeah, I've had a few spiders that were the size of a newborn kitten. I made a friend move one for me because she ever so kindly made her enormous web from the roof of my porch to my car. If I walked out of my door, I would have had a spider the size of my fist on my head. I love watching spiders, but that one... No thanks!

We have a type of spider around here that tends to only build it's web during the night hours. It must take it up during the day, because we never see the webs then. Makes walking outside during the night to go to the garage or other building a challenge, because just because there wasn't a web across the path earlier during daylight hours, doesn't mean there won't be one there now. And, of course, the spider tends to sit in the web right about face height.

They don't get very big, only having a body size about the diameter of a nickel, at most, but still...... Any spider in my face is one WAY too many for me. And this one just looks, well, EVIL looking to me. No way I want it running across my face!

About the only spiders I seem to have a soft spot for are the little jumping spiders. Not sure why, but for some reason I will go out or my way to help keep them from inadvertent harm.

If you take a flashlight out at night and shine it around, you'll see just how many there are around your yard (I'm guessing we have the same types of spiders). Their eye glow. I like the crab spiders - spiny orb weavers - I forget their scientific name though. Starts with an m I think.
